I've been wanting to try this for a long time.Made it with oranges and I'm thinking to use it on a rice dish I've been thinking to try and is also good as a topping on a whipped cream cake. Had something a long time ago with the same taste that I used to eat with pancakes. It was like a jam/preserve made with citrus rind. Thanks for the recipe.

I used grapefruit and this turned out so yummy!I did leave out taking the citrus peel out and just let it boil down with the peel in. I wanted to make sure it was cooked long enough. It turned out great. Thanks! Made for 123 Hit Wonders game.
